It was unable to claim #1 on Billboard’s Digital Songs Chart, but Shawn Mendes’ new “Life of the Party” still achieved something impressive in its first week of release.<\/p>\n
With 148,000 first-week paid downloads, the social media star’s single scores the biggest debut week since Phillip Phillips’ “Home” launched in 2012.<\/p>\n
Fueled by its positioning as Phillips’ “American Idol” coronation song, that track moved 278,000 copies in its first week of release.<\/p>\n
Fifth for the week on Billboard’s Digital Songs chart, the Mendes song landed behind Sam Smith’s #1 “Stay With Me” (211,000), MAGIC!’s #2 “Rude” (210,000), Iggy Azalea’s #3 “Fancy (featuring Charli XCX)” (178,000) and Ariana Grande’s #4 “Problem (featuring Iggy Azalea)” (153,000).<\/p>\n
